Oh, this is actually really cute! I get BLOOD, but are the other two covers of anything? You should do more vk covers like this―they remind me of the D game soundtrack songs

This should be good

Hmm, they clearly know TOMOZO since playing some DUAL CORE SOUND lives. But I don't think it's his label since the OHP/etc. is quite poorly done unlike his other endeavours. Strange that they copied Sequence Records, especially not being visual kei

Best way I've found: SmartRipper to rip vob chapters. Open vob in Audacity and edit or save. You get correct track length by ripping the chapter, don't have to convert to avi first or any other such nonsense, etc

I'm interested, sent a PM

In VK? I don't remember seeing an album less than 3000 for a very long time... but maybe it's bands that I don't listen to. --- Has anyone figured out what songs they're ripping off yet? These previews sound even more familiar than usual... are they copying themselves now?! [And btw, I say this as a fan] I at least recognize that “kagome kagome” tune from the 3rd sample, but I can't think of the other ones yet.

The two on the top right... are they related at all, or just happened to use the same city image? lol

He's just giving a teaser until he reveals the band on Feb 1st...

There was no hiatus, that was mis-translation

One of my favorite's is lynch.'s vernie (which I can only find a cover of on YouTube, sorry) The spoken word at the beginning is from a 2002 movie called Darkness―which I can't find on Youtube but it's on Primewire, etc. and the quote is from the very opening scene. lynch. - vernie (cover)

I was like searching through the site's code trying to figure out if pond5 is related to the countdown, and then I realize it's a stock photo site that their bg is from, lol

^ We have spam?

IMO both of those are bands that White People care about more than actual Japanese fans... (because they look cool)

Yeah! \m/ Trombe, does this single appear to be live limited?

Yeah, the mini-album's supposed to be released at that live. Part of me thinks they'll just cancel the release... but on the other hand, they only announced the mini like a week ago (/exaggerating), so they had to have known they were disbanding at that time, so... maybe it'll just be a shitty CD-R that they sell at that live and is never seen again.

Ah cool, I considered buying LucieN. How are they? Edit: lol, I considered buying ZAKLIA too. Thoughts?

I think it's cute! Keep working

Exactly, GOEMON ain't stupid. That shit's sure to sell out, and you can tell that GOEMON is planning on it since this is called "first press CD only edition" Edit: although I will say, they show an interesting mix of ARLEQUIN/AvelCain/osa pop aesthetic in their PV. I think it's a pretty successful mashup

DEG fans, what's the cohesive plot tying these videos together? (Or is there one)

IMO RIKU was just the fuck over it, as evidenced by his 3-year non-stop stinkface and generally shitty-seeming attitude. Seems like LIN has been a popularity failure from the beginning, so I can't imagine that KANATA or REIYA wanted to stay, and I'm sure KISAKI just said “ok guys, you're done, I'm going to try again with prettier members” and kicked them the fuck out since it's his band and he can do that. Last I heard, RIKU was in Tokyo trying to make it in music again, except he gave up after approximately two weeks and I'm sure he's a host somewhere now. KANATA works in the bar of Takafumi (ex-Marvelous Maiden / head UCP staff) and is also a *certified* wine sommelier (← the only actual FACT in my comment! congrats guy!). As far as I know, all VK drummers retire and start fishing a lot, so one can only assume that REIYA's on a boat somewhere (I have no idea).

HATE artists who do that. Also notorious: anyone Dali related, guitarist of Karma-Shenjing.
